The Sea and the Sky

I watched the tide rise

I saw the sun sink within

I saw its scarlet shades blend into the blues.

There are sparks

that linger in the cold mist.

And whenever the breeze missed out on the tale;

Passion grew strong like old vine.

And whenever Time closed its eyes,

The sparks warmed the deep-

The cold and forgotten bottoms of the sea.

The sea saw the sky-

And every night when the moon came

to kiss it good night,

The tides rose a bit.

And fell asleep reflecting the dark eyes;

And drifted into a blissful swoon.

Drifting past were silent sails of change.

And the tides found reason only to wait for the sky.

‘Who reflected the other’-

and ‘how they did it’ was a mystery.

But their hearts spoke in incomprehensible tongues

and their eyes exchanged dreams-

To last the end of times.

The sea saw the sky just a breath away.

And yet ever so distant;

And sank every night deeper into the stars.

And the sky breathed a song within a smile

promising to last a life time.
